I have a few Miku nendoroids because I think she's cute in chibi form, and her hair is my favourite colour. When I bought my first one, I had no idea she was a "vocaloid." I don't really care for them or the games, I just like her nendoroid figure
I like them but only certain songs. Other songs are too "robotic" sounding for my liking. But some songs are awesome! I personally like Rin Kagamine and GUMI best.
oh god a lot of vocaloid songs are really cringey u gotta dig deep to find good songs instead of miku singin about love or being embarrassed or suicidal (80% of vocaloid songs are like this). also i HATE engloid it is awful vocaloid sounds really bad using english voicebanks
a producer i recommend is pinocchiop in one of his newest albums he actually incorporated himself into a few of his songs instead of just miku and it sounds great!!
miku is my only fav vocaloid tho, everyone else sounds verrry strange to me idk why especially gumi i hate her. miku also has my fav colors all over (turquoise) and sounds amazing but her soft can get annoying
as for lyrics i cant really say much since im an american fan i dont understand them. although i do google them sometimes i dont think too much about it since like i said a lot of the lyrics are essentially the exact same kind. or at least after a while you get what the song is talking about. for vocaloid you kind of just have to like the sound of the song, especially if you dont understand japanese, for me at least
but as im getting older i actually find myself drifting farther apart from vocaloid and asian culture in general which im both happy and sad about.
Ambivalence to be honest. Ever since Portal, I have actually enjoyed computerized covers of songs. Covered songs can actually be funny in a way. However, the fandom that surrounds vocaloids is a bit off putting. I do enjoy the MDD dancing programs that sometimes accompany vocaloids...if they are done well.
